At the
White House media briefing today, press secretary Jen Psaki flagged that when
Joe Biden makes remarks at the US Capitol tomorrow morning to mark the
anniversary of the January 6 insurrection by extremist supporters of Donald
Trump, he will make a strong statement.
She said
Biden “is going to speak to the truth of what happened, not the lies that some
have spread since, and the peril it posed to the rule of law and our system of
democratic governance.”
She went on
to say that the current US president will also talk of the work still needed to
strengthen American democracy “to reject the hate and lies we saw on January 6
and to unite our country.”
Psaki said:
“President Biden has been clear-eyed about the threat the former president
represents to our democracy and how the former president constantly works to
undermine basic American values and the rule of law. And President Biden has of
course spoken repeatedly about how the former president abused his office,
undermined the constitution and ignored his oath to the American people in an
effort to amass more power for himself. and his allies.”
Biden, the
White House continued, “sees January 6 as the tragic culmination of what those
four years under President Trump did to our country and they reflected the
importance to the president of winning … the battle for the soul of our
nation.”
“I would
expect that President Biden will lay out the significance of what happened at
the Capitol and the singular responsibility President Trump has for the chaos
and carnage that we saw,” Psaki said.
“And he
will forcibly push back on the lies spread by the former president in an
attempt to mislead the American people and his own supporters,” she added.
